Caring the blues away: The five values at the heart of the Character Programme of Welgemoed Primary School are: caring, respect, honesty, self-discipline and responsibility. Each of the values is linked to a specific colour and a specific value features each term. Their value for term one is caring. On Friday 19 February, learners wore a touch of blue to chase away the blues amidst extraordinary circumstances, where Covid protocol must, at all times, be adhered to.

BELLVILLE: ONGELUK EIS PROKUREUR VAN RONDEBOSCH
Vrou sterf in botsing NIELEN DE KLERK @nielendk
M
edelye stroom steeds in ná ’n ongeluk in Bellville wat die lewe van ’n prokureur geëis het. Christel Beukes (42) het verlede Woensdagaand by vriende in Stellenridge gekuier en was op pad huis toe toe sy in ’n ongeluk op die hoek van Old Oak-weg en Sonneblomstraat/Panorama-rylaan betrokke was. Sy was sowat 400 m van haar vriendin se huis af. Foto’s van die toneel wys dat haar ligte voertuig van die kant af beskadig is. Die ander voertuig, ’n Toyota Fortuner, se voorkant is onherstelbaar beskadig. Die sekerheidsmaatskappy Titanium Securitas het die volgende dag ’n plasing oor die ongeluk op hul Facebook-blad gemaak. Daarin sê hulle een van die bestuurders het glo ’n rooi lig verontagsaam en die ander voertuig getref. Sers. Anele Siwisa, woordvoerder van die
Bellville-polisiekantoor, het die ongeluk bevestig, maar wou nie meer besonderhede bekend maak nie. Die plasing het vinnig heelwat kommentaar ontlok. Baie hiervan was van vriende wat haar goed geken het. Liezl van Schalkwyk, die vriendin by wie sy gekuier het, vertel Beukes was basies deel van hul gesin. “My kinders was haar kinders. Sy het elke verjaarsdagpartytjie bygewoon.” Beukes het in familiereg gespesialiseer en by Miller du Toit Cloete Incorporated in Kaapstad gewerk. Die maatskappy het in ’n Facebook-inskrywing gesê Beukes was ’n uitstekende prokureur – met integriteit, toegewyd en baie geliefd. Sy is oorspronklik van Johannesburg af en het later in Bloemfontein gestudeer. Sy het ten tyde van haar dood in Rondebosch gebly en het ook voorheen in Bellville gewerk. ’n Ander vriendin, Christel du Preez, sê sy
is stukkend. “Dit is verskriklik. So onnodig.” Die twee, wat dieselfde naam gedeel het, het sommer na mekaar op hul vanne verwys. Hulle was nie bloedfamilie nie, maar was soos susters, sê sy. Beukes was lief vir haar katte, skryf, draf, reis, koffie en berge. “Sy het nooit iemand seergemaak nie. Sy kon uit haar maag uit lag.” Hulle sou mekaar die volgende dag gesien het. “ ’n Mens lees altyd dat dit met ander mense gebeur en nou gebeur dit met jouself.” Sy sê sy weet haar saak met Beukes was reg, maar sy raai almal aan om vir die mense om hulle te sê wat hulle vir hulle beteken. “Sê vir mense jy’s lief vir hulle.” ’n Gedenkdiens gaan op Sondag 14 Maart gehou word, maar verdere besonderhede is nog nie bevestig nie.

Koerante skitter in stryd D
rie TygerBurger-uitgawes het onderskeidelik tweede en derde plekke behaal in die Forum vir Gemeenskapsjoernaliste (FCJ) se jaarlikse toekennings vir uitnemendheid. Twee joernaliste van TygerBurger, asook verskeie joernaliste en susterskoerante in die res van die Kaap en Boland, het ook in die kompetisie geskitter. Die wenners van die 2019-toekennings vir uitnemendheid is Vrydag in ’n aanlyn uitsending op YouTube aangekondig nadat die Covid-19-pandemie die toekenningsgeleentheid, wat in Junie verlede jaar sou plaasgevind het, gekniehalter het. In die TygerBurger-stal het die Kraaifontein- en Bellville-uitgawes onderskeidelik tweede en derde plekke behaal in die kategorie Koerant van die Jaar: gratis koerante in
korporatiewe besit met ’n bladoplaag van minder as 24. TygerBurger Brackenfell is tweede in dieselfde kategorie vir koerante met ’n bladoplaag van meer as 24. TygerBurger Durbanville was ’n finalis. TygerBurger se susterskoerant in die Helderberg, die DistriksPos, is aangewys as die beste betaalde koerant in korporatiewe besit met ’n sirkulasie van meer as 5 000. In dieselfde kategorie het Paarl Post derde plek behaal, asook derde plek in die kategorie vir voorblaaie: betaalde koerant in korporatiewe besit met ’n sirkulasie van meer as 5 000. In die kategorieë vir skryfwerk het Desirée Rorke van TygerBurger tweede plek behaal in beide die hardenuus- en menslikenuus-kategorieë. Samantha Lee-Jacobs van People’s Post

Julle is die room van die oes in ons bedryf.”
City declare Bellville a ‘future city’ NIELEN DE KLERK @nielendk You may see crime and grime when looking at Bellville, but scores of officials say they see opportunity. This was evident from an event on Monday where plans for the “Bellville Future City” were launched. The affair, organised by the Greater Tygerberg Partnership (GTP), saw the top brass in Cape Town politics congregating to discuss the future of Bellville. All the speakers acknowledged that the area as it is currently, is not the poster child of success. Yet this won’t deter the City of Cape Town from investing in the region. “Cape Town continues to experience rapid urbanization as people relocate to the city in search of opportunities and better lives. It is true, however, that Bellville has suffered from a prolonged period of decline. This has impacted negatively on the area’s attractiveness as an investment destination,” said mayor Dan Plato. “And
if the business sector in the City goes down, the economy goes down.” He said investment by the City will be the catalyst to make Bellville the “second city” or “second node” in Cape Town. He recently announced that the Bellville CBD would be a “legacy project” and form part of the Mayoral Visible Service Acceleration (MVSA) initiative. “The Bellville CBD is included in the R200 million MVSA project focused on urban renewal projects in 23 precincts across the city.” Frank Cumming, the City’s urban catalytic investment director, said their plans for the area may take many years to come to fruition. “Bellville has suffered over the last 20 years,” he said. Current stumbling blocks include crime, unemployment, below-average education. “(But it) has the potential for turnaround and to deliver to objectives.’’ The objectives of their master plan is creating a future city including improv-
ing a sense of place and pride, improving investment potential, transforming the environment for walking and cycling and improving accessibility for people and vehicles on Bellville roads. They also want to deliver a better and safer working environment and a diverse mix of housing, retail and industrial opportunities. Cumming said in the end they want to leverage Bellville’s unique attributes: the many hospitals and healthcare facilities, educational institutions, the large transport hub. This doesn’t mean the area will start seeing high rises any time soon. This is something that will happen over years, even decades, explains Cumming, with many partnerships that need to be started. Plato said closer collaboration with Prasa, Transnet and other stakeholders will be harnessed as part of the Bellville Future City Project. “The ultimate goal is to prioritise investment and job creation through the regeneration of Bellville as a second CBD.”
HS Bellville gaan nóg meer herwin Die Hoërskool Bellville gaan nou gebruikte produkte begin herwin soos nog nooit tevore nie. Waar daar voorheen vullisdromme by die skool was, is daar nou herwinningsdromme en ekobaksteenstasies. Dit is alles deel van die skool se deelname aan die Greater Tygerberg Partnership (GTP) se Zero Waste Schools-projek, wat daarop gemik is om so min afval as moontlik na ashope te stuur. Die program maak eerder gebruik van ’n maklike, doeltreffende afvalbestuursprogram, asook herwinning en kompos. Boonop word dié stelsel aangevul met leermateriaal wat onderwysers gebruik om leerders oor afvalbestuur in te lig. Die Hoërskool D.F. Malan het verlede jaar aan die projek deelgeneem. Warren Hewitt, die GTP se uitvoerende hoof, sê die projek volg ’n holistiese aanslag om uiteindelik gewoontes te verander. “Dit gee vir onderwysers en leerders ’n groter begrip van hoekom dit belangrik is om hul afvalgewoontes te verander, maar gee ook die vaardighede vir hoe om dit te verander,” sê hy. Stefan Kruger, die Hoërskool Bellville se onderhoof, sê “die impak strek wyer as die skoolterrein. Dit skep ’n uitkringeffek in die gemeenskap soos leerders hul nuwe kennis tuis gebruik. Ons sien uit daarna om die resultate van hierdie projek met die verloop van tyd te sien”. Die projek word ondersteun deur Stad Kaapstad en die maatskappye Waste-Ed en Plant the Seed.

Fietsryer gered ná val op wynplaas ESMÉ ERASMUS
’n
Fietsryer van Bloubergstrand het moontlik sy lewe te danke aan die sameloop van omstandighede toe hy tydens ’n oefenrit op die Bloemendal-wynlandgoed geval het. Maurizio de Pol (59) van West Beach het verlede Maandagoggend op ’n bruggie op die fietsroete beheer oor sy fiets verloor en bo-oor die handvatsels geval en op ’n klip te lande gekom. Hy het drie ribbes gebreek en ander sny- en skraapwonde opgedoen. Hy het asemhalingsprobleme ondervind nadat sy regterlong deurboor is en vog rondom sy ribbes opgebou het, wat daartoe gelei het dat die long gedeeltelik platgeval het. Hy is heel toevallig gevind deur twee vroue wat ook daar op ’n makliker fietsroete gery het – van wie een ’n opgeleide ER24-paramedikus. Volgens Marile van Niekerk (34) het sy en haar vriendin, Kate Shannon van Wyk (35), van Durbanville net ná 08:00 daar fietsgery. “Ons het die gewone groen roete gery en toe ons teen die tweede bult opry, het ek vir Kate gewys in die rigting van die swart roete en vir haar gesê eendag as ons goeie fietsryers is, moet ons dié roete probeer. “Sy het toe in die rigting gekyk waarna ek gewys het en gesien daar lê iemand in die veld. Ons het die onderkant van die swart roete gevolg tot by die beseerde man. “Ons het hom gekry waar hy langs sy fiets gelê het – met bloed, snymerke en afgeskaafde vel aan albei sy arms,” sê sy. Sy regterskouer was geswel en erg gekneus en daar was ’n groot knop aan sy regtersy. Volgens Van Niekerk, wat drie jaar as ER24-paramedikus by die Mediclinic Louis Leipoldt gewerk het, het die beseerde man sy bewussyn verloor. Hulle het sy foon en beursie gesoek en kon só sy identiteit bevestig.

Marile van Niekerk, voorheen ’n ER24-paramedikus, het die beseerde fietsryer gestabiliseer en regop gehou terwyl hulle op die ambulans gewag het.
“Nog ’n fietsryer het toe daar verbygekom en ons kom help. Ek het intussen die ontvangs by Bloemendal gebel en ook ER24 vir ’n ambulans. “Ons kon ook sy vrou bel, wat ook op Bloemendal fietsgery het, maar net op ’n ander roete,” sê sy. Nadat sy hom gestabiliseer het, het hulle daarin geslaag om hom na ’n paadjie te neem waar die ambulans hom sou oplaai. “Hy het verskriklike pyn verduur en gesukkel om asem te haal en kon nie plat lê nie. Sy vrou het intussen ook daar opgedaag en ons het vir die ambulans gewag.” Hy is na die Mediclinic Durbanville geneem waar hy dae lank in die hoësorgeenheid versorg is. Hy is verlede Donderdag ontslaan. “Ek is net so dankbaar dat ek vir Kate by my gehad het, wat hom raakgesien het en dat sy en die ander fietsryer my kon help,” sê sy. De Pol het die vroue bedank vir alles wat hulle vir hom gedoen het en gesê hy was werklik geseënd met hul sorg. “As dit ook nie was vir Kate wat my raakgesien het nie, kon ek wie weet hoe lank daar gelê het, en met ’n platgevalde long kon dit sleg uitgedraai het,” het hy gesê.

Nature reserves to be burned
Here at the inaugural event on Monday 15 February are (from left) Suné Williams (Grade R teacher), Linda Range (vice principal), Adél Mostert (principal) and Michelle Bland (Grade R teacher) with Grade R learners (front).
Durbanville Prep expands A new Grade R campus for English learners was opened at Durbanville Preparatory School when the schools reopened on Monday 15 February. Principal, Adél Mostert, cut the ribbon while the Grade R learners watched excitedly. The campus is of the highest standard and a welcomed addition to the community. The playground is inviting, well equipped and child friendly, according to a spokesperson for the school.
Classrooms are fully equipped with learning material and apparatus to ensure optimal teaching and learning. With this extension, two new classrooms have been added to the existing five classrooms of the Grade R section. An educator, class assistant and administrative clerk have been appointed to join the staff. Applications for Grade R for 2022 opened last Thursday and will close on 26 March.
Several ecological burns are scheduled in the next two months for nature reserves in Cape Town, among which the Botterblom Nature Reserve in Durbanville. This will be done to preserve the natural heritage and reduce the risk of wild fires in nature reserves of the City of Cape Town, according to a media release issued by the City. “Carefully managed burns of old vegetation are necessary to maintain species’ diversity and to reduce fuel loads, which in turn reduces the risk of wild fires,” says Marian Nieuwoudt, the City’s Mayco member for spatial planning and environment. “We ensure that the surrounding residents are provided with further details of each planned ecological burn once the dates are confirmed, so residents can be prepared. The actual dates depend on ideal weather conditions and will be confirmed closer to the time,” she says. In March the following nature reserves will be burned: . Botterblom Nature Reserve (2,9 ha); . Blaauwberg Nature Reserve (50,8 ha); . Table Bay Nature Reserve and Parklands Fynbos Corridor (5,3 ha). From March to April, the following nature reserves will get their turn: . Table Bay Nature Reserve, Milnerton Racecourse (10,5 ha); . Haasendal Conservation Area (4 ha). “Our environmental management department will work with the City’s fire and
rescue service and partners to ensure that the procedure for all of these planned burns is conducted efficiently and safely on the day,” Nieuwoudt says. The fire and rescue service will also conduct the required pre-inspection of the areas; fire-breaks will be maintained and widened where necessary; and firefighting equipment and fire hydrants will be tested to ensure seamless operations on the day. For safety reasons, these reserves, or portions thereof, will be closed to the public on the day of burning and for a few days after until the area is deemed safe. “We can assure the surrounding community that all required burning permits will be obtained from the City’s air pollution and fire and rescue service departments,” Nieuwoudt says. “Prescribed ecological burns are crucial for the management of our conservation areas. “Where fynbos and renosterveld vegetation becomes too old, the vegetation can become thick, shading out many species, and shrubs start to die. The rejuvenating fire removes all the dead material, and stimulates seeds to germinate, and annuals and bulbs to flower. “While fires occurring too frequently can lead to a decline in slow-growing species and reduced seed production, too infrequent fires can lead to bush encroachment and extinction of local species, as well as dangerous wild fires,” she says.
New traffic cops in training DESIRÉE RORKE @dezzierorke A total of 90 new traffic officer recruits recently started a 12-month traffic officer’s training course at Gene Louw Traffic College in Brackenfell. Once completed, participants may be offered a position as a provincial traffic officer at one of the 13 Western Cape traffic centres. The course consists of 31 unit standards covering subjects that include the implementation of the National Road Traffic Act and the Criminal Procedure Act, as well as guidelines for road traffic law enforcement. “Participants will also undergo firearm competency training, first aid training, training in basic firefighting, and additional driving training where necessary,” says spokesperson for the provincial department of transport and public works, Jandré Bakker. Participants will be receiving training accredited by the Safety and Security Sector Education and Training Authority and
Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC). “Those found competent during practical and theoretical assessments and successfully complete the course will graduate with a qualification in Road Traffic Law Enforcement,” says Bakker. Bakker says trainees will work alongside experienced officials to sharpen their knowledge and know-how. “They will also get the opportunity to apply their new skills in a high-pressure environment, for example, controlling traffic and systematically roadside inspection of vehicles, as well as applying the National Road Traffic Act. During the Covid-19 pandemic, traffic officers have also been helping enforce relevant provisions of the Disaster Management Act and its regulations. “The department’s traffic service has had a number of major successes in recent years. In addition to regular traffic law enforcement, during roadside operations, traffic officers regularly confiscate illegal goods such as abalone, drugs, and illicit cigarettes,” says Bakker.
Penguin march at Aquarium It is “March of the Penguin” at the Two Oceans Aquarium. During March, the aquarium will share intriguing facts and information about penguins from around the world, like “What do penguins eat? How long do they live? How to speak like a penguin”, and a whole lot more. On social media there will be videos, Instagram stories, Facebook updates, and the aquarium website will be humming (or should that be braying?) with penguin blogs, some extra special visuals, and arts and crafts. At the aquarium, visitors will be able to follow a QR code-led tour through the, by using their cell phones to scan QR codes that have been strategically placed at various exhibits. These codes will open up a wonderful world of penguin information, bringing facts, visuals and fun activities into the palms of visitors’ hands. Along with March of the Penguin, everyone who joins the aquarium’s membership programme in March, will automatically be entered into a competition to win a prize
valued at R10 000 (including a penguin experience, vouchers and gift cards). All you have to do is become an annual member of the Two Oceans Aquarium, and you will be automatically entered into the draw. You can also join the competition when you visit the aquarium; just pop in at the visitors’ centre at the entrance of the aquarium. On Saturday 13 March, there will be a special members’ event that will focus specifically on penguins. The aquarium’s penguin keepers will share stories about the very special birds that they look after. Visitors can also take advantage of the aquarium’s “After 3 Special” currently on until Wednesday 31 March. This means that you can purchase discounted tickets from the aquarium’s ticket office after 15:00. These tickets can only be purchased at the aquarium and are only valid for the day that they are purchased on.

Hospital launches vaccination site K
arl Bremer Hospital launched its vaccination tent on Tuesday 23 February, boosting the provincial health department’s efforts to immunise staff against Covid-19. The hospital joins Tygerberg Hospital, Groote Schuur Hospital and Khayelitsha District Hospital in the roll-out of the Johnson & Johnson vaccinations to healthcare workers who form part of phase one of the roll-out. Sister Iris Adams has worked as a nurse for over 43 years and received the first vaccination at the launch on Tuesday. “I feel good and I was excited. I decided to take the vaccine today because we have been waiting for it for so long and now it is here,” Adams says. Nomvuyo Sihoyiya, a general worker, was next in line to get her shot and says it was not as painful as she had expected. “I feel fine and I am happy that I was able to get the vaccine. I am doing this to protect myself and others.”
Dr Sue le Roux, one of the medical doctors, became emotional after receiving her jab and has encouraged all healthcare workers to consider vaccination. “I am beyond excited. I have dreamt of this day and it is finally here. I encourage all our healthcare workers to step up and to take the vaccine. It is the best thing we can do for ourselves and others,” she says. Jonathan Lucas, hospital chief executive, also joined his team to get vaccinated and described the launch as an exciting day for healthcare workers at the hospital. “This is an exciting opportunity for us to get vaccinated to protect ourselves and our co-workers. My message to our healthcare workers is, let us all unite. The vaccine is safe and you can make the choice to make a difference,” says Lucas. V The health department encourages healthcare workers to register on the electronic vaccine data system to get their jab at https://vaccine.enroll.health.gov.za/
Staff are seated inside the vaccination tent at Karl Bremer before getting their shots.

Construction work on N1 in full swing I
f everything goes according to plan, work on the 11km stretch of road on the N1 between the Black River-bridge interchange and Plattekloof Road interchange is expected to be completed by the end of July, the transport and public works department says. Work on the R71 million periodic maintenance project to repair and resurface this stretch of the N1 commenced on 20 January. The project involves removing existing asphalt surfacing, undertaking repairs, patching and sealing cracks where it is necessary, and resurfacing the pavement with an ultra-thin friction course top layer, the department says. The contract with Triamic Construction (a division of Haw & Inglis) and consulting engineers SMEC South Africa, also includes work on some of the ramps and service road intersections along the route. The N1 is one of Cape Town’s busiest roads. The stretch under construction cur-
rently carries between 140 000 and 150 000 vehicles per day, and the last refurbishment was done in 2006. The department says to minimise traffic disruption, construction will take place in one lane of each carriageway at a time, and road closures on the N1 will only be undertaken at night and on weekends. At least one lane will be open at all times in both the inbound and outbound directions. They also say where work is being undertaken on ramps and intersections, motorists can expect half the roadway to be open, and traffic flow will be managed with stopand-go controls. The contractor will ensure that flag operators are deployed and that all temporary road signage is well maintained. The City of Cape Town, who is also the maintenance agent of this project, will manage the flow of information to landowners and others affected by this project – that is, people living close to the N1 in wards 1, 2, 4, 5, 27, 55 and 56.
Care packages for medics Under the watchful eye of provincial health minister Dr Nomafrench Mbombo, Checkers Hyper Brackenfell on Thursday donated 580 care packages to health workers at the Brackengate Covid-19 field hospital. The occasion also marked the official re-opening of the new revamped shop at Fairbridge Mall. The packages were given as a token of appreciation for medical and support personnel who have been working tirelessly in the fight against Covid-19. The packages contained snacks, water and essential toiletries, newspapers donated by the Cape Argus and TygerBurger, as well as greeting cards specially drawn by children from early childhood
development centres supported by Checkers. “I salute our healthcare workers and most importantly Checkers for recognising their hard work and doing something about it. For that I would like to thank you,” commented Mbombo. “The Brackengate intermediate care facility is on the doorstep of our home office in Brackenfell, and we are committed to supporting the communities in which we trade,” explained Lunga Schoeman, CSI manager for the Shoprite Group. “Checkers also donated care packages to Tygerberg Hospital, Cape Gate Mediclinic and Louis Leipoldt Hospital earlier this year.”

School applications open The provincial education department is appealing to all parents and caregivers, particularly those who have learners that will be entering either in Grade R, 1 or 8 next year, to please apply before 26 March. Applications can be made either online or through a paper-based application process should a parent not have access to technology. According to a statement, the department has already recorded 52 884 applications on the system by 16 606 parents since Friday 26 February. Parents are required to apply at three schools, including the ones closest to your home, and order their preference on the system. The following support documents are needed: . the last official school report card; . ID, birth certificate, passport of the learner; or a study permit (foreign learners); or Proof of application (study permit) or a police affidavit;
. immunisation card (Road to Health Chart) [Primary Schools Only]; and . proof of residence (rates account, lease agreement, an affidavit confirming residence). Parents are to please apply via https://admissions.westerncape.gov.za/admissions/ login The statement further reads that once applications are processed by schools, parents are requested to confirm (or decline) their child’s choice of school for 2022 between 24 May and 25 June. “We want to alert parents that if there are large numbers on the system, as we saw Friday, the system may display an error message. Please try again later, hit refresh, or the next day, as it will correct itself. “Parents must note that schools must process all applications received during the admission period. It does not work on a ‘first come first served’ basis. The important thing is that parents or caregivers apply before 26 March.”

SLICE OF LIFE
Snert vs feite: Dink logies daaroor Soms gebeur dinge wat ’n mens maar kan sê by bisar verby is. En as jy dit nie met jou eie oë gesien het nie, sou jy dit dalk nie geglo het nie. So is die volgende storie my eenkeer vir die waarheid vertel. ’n Omie lê luilekker in die son op ’n Kaapse strand, half aan die slaap. Seevoëls krys om hom heen en die branders raas. Toe kom ’n seuntjie met sy draairoomys verby, maar hy struikel en die roomys val van die horinkie af, net mooi op die oom se bors. Hy skrik wakker van die ysigkoue ding op sy bors en al wat hy half verdwaas kan uitkry, is “magtag, kom hierdie seevoëls van die Suidpool af?” Net verlede week sien ek in die media die berig oor die man van wie se tong ’n vrou ’n stuk afgebyt en uitgespoeg het. Die volgende oomblik kom ’n reusemeeu, pik dit op en weg is hy. Die twee mense het glo gestry en toe handgemeen geraak. Dit kom toe so dat die vrou eers die man stamp en hom toe probeer soen om terug te veg. En net daar gee sy sy tong ’n yslike hap van so 3 cm. Die man is hospitaal toe, maar dokters kon nie veel vir hom doen nie, want daar was niks om aan te heg nie. En die vrou is hegtenis geneem en het in die hof skuld beken. Die vonnis is nog nie bekend nie. Nóg vreemder as fiksie was toe ’n jong man nou die dag beweer het Helen Zille, voorsitter van die DA se Federale Raad, het ’n mikroskyfie in sy kop geplant. Sy is op sosiale media omtrent hieroor gekasty en moes bontstaan om te verduidelik dis nie waar nie. Die man het selfs ’n gevolg op Facebook opgebou van mense wat glo sy bewering is waar. Zille het ruiterlik erken sy weet nie so mooi hoe om die situasie te hanteer nie. En sy ken die man nie eens nie. Maar, sy sou hom wel vir mediese hulp verwys as sy kon. As ek Zille was, sou ek waarskynlik nie in die openbaar op so ’n waansinnige bewering reageer nie, bloot omdat dit my sou kon blootstel aan nog mense wat nie al hul varkies op hok het nie. Dis jammer, maar dis die werklikheid – daar is mense wat nie tussen fantasie en werklikheid kan onderskei nie. Dis ’n vreesaanjaende siekte van die brein en sulke mense beweeg tussen ons rond. Kom ons wees nou net vir ’n oomblik realisties en neem die wette van die wetenskap in ag. Sou dit fisiologies en fisiek moontlik wees vir iemand om enigiets in my of jou kop te plant sonder ’n operasie onder narkose? En sonder dat ons weet die operasie word uitgevoer? Reg geraai. Dis snert. En daarom sou ek ook nie daarop reageer as iemand so ’n bewering sou maak nie. Maar as iemand hom wil verbeel hy is Alice in Wonderland, laat hulle maar begaan. Los net MY kop en MY tong uit, dankie. Ek het hulle nog nodig. – Werner van Tonder

Probleem word nie ordentlik opgelos nie In antwoord op die brief “Komiteelid gee antwoord” (TygerBurger, 24 Februarie). Dit is nie dat ’n mens nie begrip het vir die Stad Kaapstad se uitdagings betreffende hawelose mense en die pandemie wat dit vererger het nie, maar haweloosheid was reeds daar lank voor die pandemie. Die N1 begin nou al ook soos ’n plakkerskamp lyk met al die strukture aan weerskante van die pad asook op van die middelmannetjies. Op sekere plekke begin dit soos ’n dump site lyk soos wat die rommel by oornagplekke agtergelaat word en die wind dit die hele wêreld vol waai. Een van die redes waarom daar geen vordering is nie, is omdat die Stad ’n beleid volg om “probleme op ’n klagtebasis aan te pak”. As jy drie konyne in ’n park los, het jy binnekort 100 en het jy ’n probleem om hulle dan te verwyder. Oor die jare is daar al honderde en dalk duisende operasies uitgevoer waarin haweloses “verwyder” is, strukture afgebreek en rommel weggery is. Die vraag is, wat was die doel van die operasie? Was dit om die “klaer” tydelik tevrede te stel of was dit om die probleem op te los? Met geen opvolgoperasie nie was dit eintlik ’n “vrugtelose oefening”, want sodra die wetstoepassers onttrek keer die haweloses terug. Wanneer die volgende klagte miskien oor ses maande ontvang word, dan word die hele oefening net weer herhaal. In dieselfde TygerBurger is berig oor ’n hawelose, sy vrou en sy ma wat al nege
jaar langs die heining van die munisipale kantore in Kraaifontein woon. Sou u reken dit is normaal, aanvaarbaar en in belang van alle mense? Ná nege jaar sal dit definitief ’n uitdaging wees om hulle te verwyder! LEON BRYNARD Brackenfell
Kos uitsit maak die probleem erger Na aanleiding van die skrywe “Vullisdae lok misdadigers”. Die punt is, die mense hoort nie hier in ons buurte nie. Baie mense sit kos uit, waarom? Só lok jy nog meer in die buurte in. Daar is al geskryf deur mense dat die wat soos ek dink nie ’n hart het nie. Ja, ek kry die mense jammer, maar daar het julle nou weer ’n les geleer – misdadigers gebruik dit as ’n dekmantel. As dit moontlik is, en ek is by die huis, wys ek hulle weg. Ek is nie bereid om ’n kans te waag nie – een van die dae bly hulle in parkies of op ’n erf langs jou huis. Hou op kos uitsit, julle wat dit doen, veroorsaak probleme vir ander! JOHAN GREEFF E-pos
Sies man! Die muur is nie ’n toilet nie! Dit was onooglik en het my met afsku vervul! Verlede Vrydag moes ek ’n posstuk by die Parow-poskantoor gaan afhaal. My motor was in die dwarsstraat daaragter parkeer. Ek was gou geholpe en met die uitstap, sien ek drie mans wat net om die hoek van Voortrekkerweg teen die muur staan en urineer – so helder oordag en sonder om skaam te wees! Dis darem
baie swak en onaanvaarbaar vir enige dorp. Dis ’n plek waar baie vroue en kinders beweeg. Dit is uiters swak advertensie vir enige dorp en ook onhigiënies. Ek weet daar is wel openbare toiletgeriewe in die omgewing van Shoprite in Parow, maar dit is beslis nie voldoende vir almal nie. Ook is dit te ver van die middedorp. Ek dink werklik dis ’n saak wat ernstig aangepak moet word. Ek sal dit baie opreg waardeer indien daar iets aan gedoen kan word. Dit is in die belang van die publiek en kan nie net onder die mat gevee word nie. MEV. JOSSIE JOOSTE Parow-Noord
Red die natuur, los plastiek Plastieksakke is so gerieflik, dat ons as Suid-Afrikaners jaarliks ongeveer 8 miljard daarvan gebruik. Soos van julle weet, is plastiek ’n sintetiese stof wat beteken dit is nie natuurlik nie. Dit neem dus 15 tot 100 jaar om af te breek! Sommige plastiek is lig-afbreekbaar en besoedel die grond en waterweë. Die gevolg is definitief nie net ’n vasteafvalprobleem nie; seediere verstik aan die plastiek of word daarin vasgevang. Dink bietjie daaroor; net 1,2% van alle plastiek wat jy (ja, jy) weggooi, word herwin! En die res? Die meeste beland op ’n stortingsterrein. Die afgelope 20 jaar gee ons nie meer om wat ons aan die aarde doen nie. Ons kan mos net ons rommel by die venster uitgooi. Nee! Ons kan nie. Dink bietjie daaroor, as jy wil hê jou kind moet weet hoe lyk ’n seeskilpad, dan moet jy ’n verskil begin maak. Volg die volgende wenke:
. Neem jou eie sakke winkel toe. . Begin minder plastiek gebruik. . Dink weer voor jy ja sê vir ’n plastieksak. ERIK GROBLER E-pos
Kom ons hernoem ook die Kaap Miskien moet ons nie naamsveranderings sonder meer verwerp nie. Dat die bruinmense ook die erkenning kry wat hulle toekom, moet verwelkom word. Dawid Stuurman vir die lughawe in Port Elizabeth en Franklin Sonn in Athlone is in die kol. Sekere ander name laat egter die tong knoop. Of die land die naamsveranderinge kan bekostig, is egter ’n ander saak. Wie betaal daarvoor? Deesdae tel geldmors deur die owerheid mos nie meer nie. Dalk moet gemeenskappe begin om die gebruik om naamsveranderings in onuitspreeklike name te verander, voorspring en weer die inheemse name begin teruggee. So kan Durbanville dalk sy aanvanklike naam van Pampoenkraal terugkry. Dit is onafhanklik en het geen rasse of koloniale konnotasie nie. Selfs die oorspronklike bewoners van die gebied, die Khoi, het nie ’n naam vir Durbanville gehad nie. Niemand word dus te na gekom nie. Begin sommer kyk na ander name hier in die Wes-Kaap. Wat sal ’n mens byvoorbeeld Bellville, Parow, Malmesbury, Milnerton, Moorreesburg, Hopefield, Darling en Ashton noem? Inwoners kan interessante voorstelle maak. ADAMUS P. STEMMET Durbanville

Living with muscle dystrophy TARRYN-LEIGH SOLOMONS @tarryns07
c
rawling, walking, running and jumping about . . . These are considered “normal” milestones for many children, but not those suffering from muscular dystrophy. In the light of Rare Disease Day, which was first celebrated on 29 February 2008 – a “rare” date – the objective is to raise awareness about this rare disease. Through interaction with Dianne de Graaf of the Muscular Dystrophy Foundation in Goodwood, TygerBurger learned the stories of two little boys, aged one and five respectively. “Muscular dystrophy is a group of diseases that cause progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass. In muscular dystrophy, ‘abnormal’ genes (mutations) interfere with the production of proteins needed to form healthy muscle. There are many kinds of muscular dystrophy. Symptoms of the most common variety begin in childhood. Other types don’t surface until adulthood. These disorders affect children and adults. The disease is usually inherited with the defective gene being passed on from one generation to the next. To date there is no cure available for muscular dystrophy,” explained Dianne, who is the manager for the foundation’s Cape region. Lukas van der Walt from Melkbosstrand and Lian van Eyk from Springs in Gauteng have both been diagnosed with a rare form of muscular dystrophy called LMNA-related congenital muscular dystrophy. According to Dianne, Laming A/C congenital muscular dystrophy (LMNA-CMD) is predominantly congenital and on the severe end of the spectrum. “Affected individuals have a weak neck and axial muscles, can develop ‘dropped head’ syndrome and may not achieve sitting. Contracture of the achilles
tendons, hips, knees and spine are involved. Scoliosis and spine rigidity can develop. Some affected individuals can achieve walking but will lose that ability later. Respiratory insufficiencies develop requiring intervention. Cardiac conduction abnormalities can occur,” she explained. Lukas van der Walt’s father, Tjaart, chatted to TygerBurger on Monday afternoon when he shared that his wife, Lize, had a smooth pregnancy with no complications. “Lukas was born on 10 June 2019. He was a week overdue. We had planned for normal birth, but Lize was taken in for an emergency c-section. At birth, he had breathing issues and doctors saw that he had hypoplastic lungs which means his lungs weren’t developed properly. Lukas was then taken to the neonatal intensive care unit (Nicu). At twomonths-old, more testing was done as he made very little movement. When Lukas was three-months-old he was diagnosed with LMNA-CMD.” At four months Lukas was given a tracheostomy that involves creating an opening in the neck to place a tube into his windpipe. He is fed through this pipe and is also on a ventilator. Tjaart said he can breathe on his own, but he is kept on the ventilator because his diaphragm is a muscle. Despite the challenges, Tjaart described Lukas as a very strong-willed toddler. “He says a few words like ‘mamma’. While we don’t know his life expectancy, we have peace that his life is one of quality. My wife and I have grown a lot as individuals during this time and we’ve made the choice to give him a quality life.” Lian van Eyk’s mother, Hanti, spoke to the newspaper to share in their family’s journey. “Lian is our ‘laat lammetjie’ as his sister is 18 and brother 12-years-old. He was our surprise baby. My pregnancy was quite normal and I delivered via c-section. He was

took place. We took him to the paediatrician who then referred us to a neurologist,” said Hanti. She said necessary blood tests were done and Lian was also taken for a muscle biopsy where he tested positive for limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) type 2B. Fifteen days before his second birthday the family got the final diagnosis which indicated that he suffers from LMNA-CMD. “Raising Lian opened our eyes to a world we never would have experienced otherwise. It teaches you more about patience, unconditional love, hope and grace. You get a different perspective on what matters in life. You suddenly realise that time is a precious gift and you never know when things might change. You recognise the significance of small things in life. You live in the moment. You find joy in that ‘wheelchair chase’ around the house or in the excitement of reaching another milestone – not to mention the witty comments only special needs parents would understand,” said Hanti. Lian is unable to eat on his own so he’s fed through a mic-key feeding tube, Hanti said. “Small things that come with no effort for us are a huge challenge to him, like simply lifting his arms. However, none of these challenges can dampen the brave and joyful spirit of this young boy. No matter what challenges Lian faces he always has a smile on his face. He is a little “chatterbox” who amuses everyone with his humour and cute personality. “He absolutely loves driving around in his power wheelchair, chasing his brother and sister around the house. He gets excited about everything and is always ready for whatever life throws at him.” For more information about muscular dystrophy visit the Muscular Dystrophy Foundation of South Africa website at www.mdsa.org.za.

Bertish Bertish to to take take on on the the Pacific
Capetonian Chris Bertish plans to embark on the Transpacific Wing Project, the world’s first solo, wing foil, transpacific crossing in June. The two-month long record-setting Transpacific Wing Project follows Bertish’s world first, solo, unsupported, Trans-Atlantic stand-up paddleboard crossing that garnered global attention and raised money for multiple global charities in 2017. For this next adventure, Bertish will solo wing foil 4 586km across the Pacific Ocean from Half Moon Bay in California to Oahu in Hawaii. The journey will require Bertish to complete the equivalent of more than two full marathons per day, winging a minimum of eight to 12 hours per day, for over fifty days, unsupported and completely unassisted. The Transpacific Wing Project craft was custom-built for Bertish’s 2017 solo, stand up paddle journey across the Atlantic Ocean.. PHOTO: BOB STAWICKI
SKOLEKRIEKET: GEEN WEDSTRYDE RES VAN SOMER
Beamptes nie gelukkig SAREL BURGER
S
kolekrieket-beamptes in die Tygerbergstreek kan slange vang. Dít nadat die plaaslike skolekrieketspanne, saam met dié in die Boland, slaggereed was om die afgelope naweek wedstryde te speel. In ’n uiters debatteerbare besluit van Krieket Suid-Afrika (KSA) einde verlede week is die skole die harnas in gejaag deur ’n besluit dat geen wedstryde die res van hierdie somer mag plaasvind nie. Nadat die WP se krieketunie reeds vroeër in Februarie aangekondig het dat alle vorme van krieketwedstryde weens die viruspan-
demie vir die huidige seisoen afgelas is, is die Bolandse skole intussen mondeling deur KSA meegedeel dat wedstryde die afgelope naweek moontlik in daardie streek hervat sou kon word. Gevolglik het verskeie Tygerbergse skole hul toevlug tot hul Bolandse eweknieë geneem om van die afgelope naweek wedstryde in die Wynland en omstreke te laat plaasvind. Maar toe kom die gewraakte aankondiging kort voor die afgelope naweek. In die lig van Sondagaand se aankondiging deur die regering dat die hele land se Covid-19-inperking van vlak 3 na vlak 1 sou skuif, het dit werklik sin gemaak dat die erg
gefrustreerde jongelinge die geleentheid gegun moes word om, te midde van voorgeskrewe virus-protokolle, terug te keer na mededingende sport. Maar KSA se regsomkeer en (voortydige) besluit aan die einde van verlede week dat geen wedstryde tot en met 31 Maart mag plaasvind nie, het ’n stokkie voor verwikkelinge van enige aard gesteek. Wat hierdie aankondiging soveel te meer dispuutbaar maak, is dat skole in die omsendskrywe feitlik aangemoedig word om voort te gaan met huishoudelike oefeninge en selfs oefenwedstryde tussen spanne van dieselfde skool – maar wedstryde teen enige ander skool sou taboe wees!
Nou kan die jongelinge – en ook senior somersport-klublede – maar net hoop dat toestande later vanjaar met die aanbreek van die volgende somer sodanig sal wees dat normale sportaktiwiteite dan wel moontlik is. Die WP Noordelike Stadsgebiede-krieketstreekunie het in der waarheid reeds ’n besluit geneem dat verreweg die meeste skolekompetisies, wat hierdie kwartaal afgelas moes word, nou na die vierde kwartaal gaan verskuif. Daarmee sal matrikulante, wat al byna ’n jaar lank alle mededingende sport ontsê word, darem die geleentheid gegun word om “vir oulaas”, voordat hulle die skoolbanke verlaat, wedstryde vir hul skool te kan speel.
Virtual coaching roll-out for schools rugby SA Rugby announced on Monday 1 March that coaches, parents and players from schools across the country will be invited to a series of webinars as preparations step up a gear for a return to action later in the year. An announcement was made recently on the return to non-contact training for all amateur rugby, including schools, clubs and associations and within specific safety conditions required by the current Covid-19 pandemic. This comes in light of the recent easing of adjusted lockdown regulations. To further assist and educate players from the various u.18 age groups, SA Rugby’s rugby department will share their expertise online and in real time with players, coaches and parents at school level. The programme – which will run from Thursday 4 March until Thursday 1 April 2021 – was compiled by Hilton Adonis (manager: training and education, Louis Koen manager: high performance programmes), as well as Herman Masimla and Nico Ser-
fontein, who spearhead the elite player development (EPD) programmes. “Our online coaching webinar series last year was a massive success and we decided to do something similar, specifically to assist players at school with the best way to get back into action again after a very long time away from the game,” said SA Rugby’s director of rugby Rassie Erasmus. “Hilton, Louis, Herman and Nico have put in a lot of effort and done great work in this regard, and the series of webinars will be of great value for any player, coach or parent from u.15 level upwards,” says Erasmus. “While the focus will be on the better players, who have been identified as part of our EPD programmes, any players who are keen to lace up their boots again will find benefit from the information we’re planning to share.” Four webinars are planned, as well as a final interactive session where parents, players and coaches will have the opportunity to interact with staff from the rugby de-
partment. The first of the four session, which will be conducted by Springbok head coach Jacques Nienaber and his junior Springbok counterpart Bafana Nhleko, will discuss the national coaching blueprint on Wednesday 4 March. This will be followed by a session on strength and conditioning on Thursday 11 March, hosted by SA Rugby’s head strength and conditioning coach, Tim Qumbu. SA Rugby nutritionists Zeenat Simjee and Robyn Moore will talk about diet and the use of supplements on Thursday 18 March, and the last session, on training management during Covid-19, will be hosted by Springbok women’s head coach Stanley Raubenheimer on Thursday 25 March. The series will conclude with a live feedback and information session on Thursday 1 April. Schools will be informed via their provinces on the details of the webinars, and those looking for more information are urged to get in touch with their provincial unions.
